Chapter 15: Flower Hairpin Turmoil
Song Ci looked at the small vine chair sedan by her feet, feeling a bit exasperated.
Was she really so weak that she needed to be carried?
"Take it away. I want to walk," Song Ci instructed, pointing at the small sedan.
Hong You glanced at Nanny, who stepped forward and said, "Madam, if you don't want to sit, let them follow behind carrying it, and you can ride if you get tired."
Song Ci looked at her with a smiling suggestion and could only nod. She held onto the arms of the two maidservants and walked slowly out of the courtyard.
The Prime Minister's Mansion used to be the residence of a favored princess from the previous dynasty. The princess was highly cherished, so the mansion was built luxuriously and elegantly. The gardens were designed by the famous historical master Liu Liuzi, and it is said that the unique stones in the lake were transported from Heaven Mountain.
Song Zhiyuan was able to obtain this mansion due to his remarkable achievements as the Minister of Personnel, and because of having shared some challenges with the current Empress Dowager and Emperor, the Emperor gifted this estate to him.
Some knowledgeable outsiders: Bah, it's obviously because the Song Family donated two hundred thousand baskets of grain during a drought year.
Sorry, the Emperor and the Song Family don't acknowledge that.
